Photograph of a tall, richly carved stone temple tower with multiple tiers of sculpted figures, pillars and niches, its upper gopuram crowned with ornate finials under a pale sky. At the lower right corner, two men stand at the temple base: one in an orange saffron garment and one in a white shirt, the man in white extending his arm toward a carved stone spout-like projection on the wall. The carved sculptures and temple architecture dominate the frame.
